Potassium Tripolyphosphate is a Phosphate Food Additives and Tech Grade Phosphate that is used as a sequestrant, emulsifier, and stabilizer in various food products. It is a white powder that is soluble in water and has a pH of 9-10.

Potassium tripolyphosphate is commonly used in meat and poultry products to improve their texture and moisture retention. It is also used in dairy products, such as cheese and yogurt, to prevent the formation of calcium crystals and improve their texture.

In addition, potassium tripolyphosphate is used in canned fruits and vegetables to prevent discoloration and maintain their texture. It is also used in baked goods to improve their texture and shelf life.

Potassium tripolyphosphate is generally considered safe for consumption by regulatory agencies such as the FDA and the European Food Safety Authority. However, excessive consumption of potassium can lead to health problems, particularly for individuals with kidney problems.
